''serpent'' - there is, indeed, a poisonous snake in Denmark. It's ''Vipera berus,'' the common European adder, or common European viper. It can be found in both Great Britain and Denmark. There is a melanistic variant, the "black adder." The image, showing both the common and melanistic types, is from a photo taken at the Copenhagen zoo. The toxicity of its poison is relatively low, and human death from its bite is a rarity. | ''serpent'' - there is, indeed, a poisonous snake in Denmark.
